Dear Eleanor, Diane, Jeanette and Art,
Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Joe and I have had all of you in our thoughts and prayers. We will never forget the many, many times Arthur and Eleanor came to Fox Chase Cancer Center to see my Dad during the last 3 months of his life. Arthur's presence and sense of humor were always so uplifting, never failing to make my Dad smile. On the day we were married, November 3rd 2000, we were so happy to share a dance with Arthur and Eleanor and recognize them as the longest married couple present. We wish you peace and comfort during this difficult time. May God Bless.

In Memory of Arthur
When the joys
are still remembered
But the sorrow
has quietly gone,
There will always be
a special place
In the heart —
where love lives on.
For many years when going to any type of family function. Like a wedding, funeral, anniversary or a milestone birthday. I would seek out Artie & Eleanor Contando amongst the group of family and friends. Artie and I had a lot in common. Common ordinary discussions became fun and interesting. I will miss him very much.
Eleanor, Diane. Jeanette & Arthur Jr.
May your
special memories
be a comfort to you
at this time.
